Dickens ends A Tale of Two Cities by revealing Sydney Carton's final transformation into a Christ figure. Dickens had the theme of Resurrection throughout the story, but near the end he made it very clear with his biblical references. Carton began as a lazy worthless drunk, but in the end he is one of the most important characters in ensuring the happiness of the Manette family. He dies for their happiness. The seamstress character is also important near the end of the book because she is the first truly abused and suffering uneducated example of the peasant class. She is the one who has a right to want change and revenge, but her only desire is to make things better for those of her stature.
